We performed a case-control study to evaluate the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. A total of 305 newly diagnosed HCC cases (80% males) and 610 subjects (81% males) unaffected by clinically evident hepatic disease admitted to the 2 main hospitals in Bresc

## BACKGROUND. Although there have been many seroepideniiologic studies on hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurrence. the actual role of I ICV in hepatocarcinogenesis is unknown. ## METHODS. We have previously reported on a highly sensitive method of detectin
## Primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers in Thailand; chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) is endemic and represents a major risk factor for the development of this cancer. Several mechanisms for HBV-related hepatocarcinogenesis have been proposed, amon
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has many genotypes which are closely associated with the severity of chronic hepatitis and the response to antiviral therapy. Although HCV is essentially hepatotropic, several lines of evidence suggest that this virus can infect peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in mo
## Background: The relationship between the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) and the serum alanine aminotransferase (alt) level was studied in hepatectomized patients with hepatitis c virus (hcv)-associated cirrhosis and hcc. ## Methods: Twenty-six hepatectomized patients with hcv-ass
